Chocolate!

I found this line of chocolate bars in the grocery store this weekend. Due to his dairy allergies, Reese has not been able to eat chocolate. He got his first taste on Saturday. Sunday I made a video of him enjoying the chocolate. As much as he loves the chocolate bars, he won't be getting them very often. They cost $1.77 each!

The Body Shop to the Rescue!

I have EXTREMELY sensitive, dry skin. For a couple of years I had been using The Body Shop's skin care products. A couple of months ago I was running low and decided that I would take the opportunity to try something new. I bought the Rare Minerals cleaner thinking that I wanted to also try the Bare Minerals line of makeup. I had been trying the ULTA minerals with no luck.

My skin did not take well to the Rare Minerals, so I went into ULTA and had one of the ladies test Studio Gear on me. Within a couple of hours my face had totally broken out and was VERY red. I tried some of Reese's baby cream on my face to help with the dryness. Bad idea!!! It immediately burned and made my face even redder. For a couple of days my entire face was very red (like I had burned myself) and covered in bumps. On top of that the skin was flaking due to the dryness.

I bought a couple of cheap things at Wal-Mart and they too reeked havoc on my skin. Rather than keep torturing my skin and being in pain, I headed to the mall. The Body Shop to the rescue! As soon as I got home, I opened up my gift set of Aloe Calming products and went through the steps. I kid you not, within minutes my skin was soft, the redness was gone, and the flakes were gone! My husband even noticed the difference.

What was I thinking? Why did I ever stray? This stuff is like a miracle in a bottle for my skin.

Not only do I like the fact that this stuff works, I love that it is cruelty free, and they use Fair Trade ingredients. The Body Shop is a must for men and women's beauty aids. I don't typically wear makeup (I don't like it and it generally irritates my skin), but I even bought some of their makeup and love the way it feels and looks also with no irritation.

Try The Body Shop, I promise you won't be disappointed!
